Weekend Thoughts

Well I made four predictions on the weekend and I ended up going 3-1 on my predictions. This brings my prediction standings to 9-6 on the season.

Monroe over Verona
As expected Verona dominated on the inside while Monroe dominated outside, with Monroe coming out of the game with a W. Verona big man Jason Ziemer had 27 points which was expected of him. For Monroe Brett Stangel really didn't show up only scoring two points but, that slack was picked up by fellow back court mate Mitch Tordoff who scored 24 points in the game. A balanced attack is what won the game for Monroe who had eight different players score, while on the other hand Verona had only five players score.

Madison Memorial over Madison West
Jeronne Maymon did play in this game and scored 20 points and Memorial won the game by 25. Maymon was helped out by super soph Vander Blue who had 19 points and senior Derek Nkemji had 17. As usual West was led by seniors Corvonn Gaines and Michael Horton, who scored 16 and 12 points a piece but, didn't get much help from the rest of the team.

Middleton over Milwaukee Bay View
Took a chance on a young Bay View team and some careless ball handling and some questionable coaching moves hurt by prediction. Basically covered everything else and more in yesterdays post.

Waupon over Randolph
As predicted the Waupon guards or guard I should say were too much for Randolph. Aris Wurtz scored 27 points while fellow star Ryan Rasmussen was only able to net eight points. Randolph big man was only able to score 11 points but, the surprise was that the Randolph guards came up big as Bryan Johnson had 19 points and Tyler Tillema had 17. From the sounds of it free throws were the big difference in the game.


Wisconsin Wins Close One
Well the Badgers did win this game but, it was much closer then they would of liked. I'll admit even though I DVRed this game I really didn't watch it very closely so I don't have a whole lot to say. Trevon Hughes had another good game leading the team in scoring with 14 and Jason Bohannon seems to be coming around as he had 10 points on 4-7 shooting. Butch, Flowers, and Leuer didn't play bad but, didn't play great either. Marcus Landry seemed to revert back to his old self as he seemed timid and didn't look to score much. He scored seven points but, five of those game from the free throw line. Joe Krabbenhoft was the player of the game as he recorded a near triple double as he scored 11 points, had 11 rebounds, and seven assists. Well a wins a win and the Badgers were able to beat Valparaiso no matter how close the game was.

Well I'll probably be taking the next couple days off since it is Christmas and I'll be doing the family thing. Hopefully will be back next week with some reports from a few of the Holiday Tournaments.
